After completion, the Rithala - Narela - Nathupur corridor will also connect Shaheed Sthal New Bus Adda station in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh with Nathupur in Haryana via Delhi, which will tremendously boost connectivity in the entire National Capital Region.  

This new corridor of the phase - IV project will expand the reach of the Delhi Metro network in the NCR thereby further boosting the economy. This extension of the Red Line will reduce congestion on the roads and, thus, will help in reducing the pollution caused by motor vehicles.  This corridor will be Delhi Metro's fourth extension into Haryana. Presently, the Delhi Metro operates up to Gurugram, Ballabhgarh, and Bahadurgarh in Haryana.
